Dock Holiday | King Bed & Lake James Location

***THE PRIVATE DOCK IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE AND PENDING CONSTRUCTION. COMPLETION DATE TBD.***

This lakeside retreat offers picturesque views of Lake James with a spacious patio and yard, boat dock, and gas grill-perfect for a getaway with friends or family! With an inverted floorplan to maximize easy lake living, enter Dock Holiday on the main floor and step into an updated living with a reclining love seat and the perfect napping couch, a bedroom with king size bed and en suite bathroom (walk-in shower only), and a bedroom with twin bunk bed and trundle. On the lower level, your eyes are immediately drawn to the spacious yard and path down to the private dock. The lower level has a second living space with a cozy sectional couch, a kitchen with an eat-in dining table, and a primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom (walk-in shower only). A large patio area provides outdoor dining for 6, in addition to a wood pellet grill and cocktail table, before walking down to the private deck and boat dock to enjoy the lake.

​​​​​​​Located just 1 hour from Asheville in Morganton, this cozy lakefront home is the perfect place to get away and enjoy everything the Lake James area has to offer. Spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Loop in Lake James State Park or High Shoal Falls in South Mountains State Park before grabbing a refreshing craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm approximately 15 minutes away. Craving a burger on your back to your lakefront home away from home? Bones Jones Burgers and Butchery is less than 2 minutes away from Dock Holiday! Take a short 25-minute drive to reach downtown Marion where you can spend your afternoon exploring the new 310 District, an indoor shopping space that's home to Toonez Chop House, Chances of Sprinkles Bakery, and several retail shops.

For dinner, head to J. Hartman's for fresh seafood and a cocktail, or McDowell Local for a handcrafted dish paired with the NC staple, Cheerwine. For view chasers, this home is about an hour's drive from the ?gorge?-ous Linville Gorge Wilderness area and the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, which offers plenty of overlooks and hiking opportunities to choose from. Don't forget that no trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without experiencing the Land of Sky, Asheville. While there, be sure to check out the hip and artsy West Asheville district, North Carolina Arboretum, and iconic Biltmore Estate. Asheville is also home to an impressive number of award-winning restaurants and breweries that you can sample in between all your activities. You're also sure to find a souvenir to remind you of your time by the lake in the mountains at one of the unique boutiques or novelty shops!

Please note: This home is NOT pet-friendly. There are 3 exterior security cameras (one over the driveway, one over the yard, and one over the patio). This home offers a private dock with an available boat slip on Lake James. If interested in renting a boat during your stay, please contact Lake James Neighborhood Store or Noah's Landing.

Great time on the lake

It was a great time on the lake. Having the dock on the property was very convenient. The house was decorated adorably! A few maintenance issues during our stay, but the management company was quick to respond and support.

Lake James Getaway

The house was immaculate and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the patio, the boathouse and the floating dock. Unfortunately, the grill on the patio was not working properly and we had a difficult time getting our steaks cooked. The view from the house of Lake James is very nice even though it is at the end of an inlet Our biggest concern was the lack of parking. Our son-in-law had brought his pontoon, and was going to dock it at the boathouse. However, because there was nowhere for him to park his boat trailer, he had to take it out of the water and take it home. This was a disappointment. Also, if you have any mobility problems, this rental is not for you. There are way too many steps.

Great house close to the lake

One note is the dock provided is tricky to use since the entrance to the side dock is narrow with rocks on the side (there was a boat lift in the covered spot which was not deep enough to clear)

Ladies golf trip

We were a group of 4 ladies and we rented this house because we came to the area to play golf. The house was great for this. It was newly decorated and comfortably furnished. We ate at the hamburger place nearby and the food was really good. We weren’t there to use the lake but didn’t realize that there was absolutely no view. There is access but the house is at the end of a deep cove.

Staycation at the dock

It is a wonderful place for anyone who wants to boat on lake james. The boat dock with lift was particularly useful. The only drawback is that the house is not handicapped friendly as there are steep stairs from the parking down to the top level. Our solution for future stays will be to bring our belongings in by boat as it provides a much easier approach to the entry. This is a great rental, but you need to have good legs.

Nice weekend getaway

The house was peaceful. The outdoor patio was a nice dinner spot. The direction sign was missing at the end of the street where all the driveways are so it took a few tries to find the house. The cove is so quiet and perfect for kayaking around. We rented a pontoon boat for a day from Lake James boat rentals and really enjoyed being out on the water.
